The Dominoes Begin to Topple!

So it's 1 out....6 to go, as last night we discovered that Teemu Tainio has agreed terms and completed his move to the north east. Following him any time now should hopefully be Pascale Chimbonda, with the other two deals for Younes Kaboul and Steed Malbranque respectively also still possibilities. The fee for Tainio is, as always with Spurs, undisclosed but it appears that if all 4 players do decide to join Roy Keane on Wearside, then £20m plus may be heading the way of the White Hart Lane coffers. I'm my view, Teemu has always been a great worker and has given his best when he has pulled on the white shirt, but has just lacked that extra edge to keep his place in the first team above other players. We wish Teemu all the best at Sunderland.....except against Spurs of course! He is probably one of the few players on their way out of N17 who are sure a warm welcome when he returns, as opposed to the Robbie Keane's, Dimitar Berbatov's and Pascale Chimbonda's of this world!

Also looking to be on his way out is long suffering goalkeeper, Paul Robinson. After losing faith in him halfway through last season, I will personally be relieved to see Robbo move on and the noises are that this may even be part of a deal to sign David Bently in the summers longest running saga.

Finally, we are hearing that Anthony Gardener is set to join newly promoted Hull City and that Spurs are lining up potential players to come in should Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov move on....possibly including a certain two Russian players (wink wink).
